Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Born just outside Wellington, New Zealand at the dawn of the '80s, Pip Brown is nothing if not a child of the decade that spawned her. Ladyhawke, Brown’s debut album as a solo artist is steeped in the sounds of electro-pop and new wave, Blondie and Cyndi Lauper. But thanks to the eternal cycles of fashion--not to mention a fair few good ideas of her very own--Ladyhawke comes out sounding far from a relic to the not-so-distant past. Present are the big chords, bubbling synths and digi-claps of '80s pop, but Brown’s smart tales of love and quarrel are delivered with an introspective quality and lean touch that puts one in mind of more modern pop stars like Annie, Robyn, et al. Still, "Magic" and "My Delirium" are authentically anthemic, simmering verses building to fist-punching choruses; and perhaps the album’s strongest moment comes with "Paris Is Burning", a gleaming concoction of sparking synthesiser and stiffly funky basslines that sees Brown singing of scenes of Bacchanalian excess and is oddly reminiscent of mid-'80s Fleetwood Mac. So, what you make of Ladyhawke might depend on your nostalgia for the decade of excess ... but be warned: even if you’d rather forget those years, Ladyhawke might just be the girl to convert you. --Louis Pattison


CD Description

Ladyhawke is the alter ego of New Zealander Pip Brown. As a music-obsessed child with very musical parents (step-father a drummer, mother a singer), she soaked up everything from the 70’s and 80’s. From Stevie Nicks and Joan Jett to Nirvana and Hole with Van Halen and Deep Purple in between. The album, which marries serious song crafting with elements of vintage pop, electro and rock, includes forthcoming singles "Dusk Till Dawn" and "Paris Is Burning". Pip wrote, arranged and plays on all the songs on the album working alongside several guest producers: Pascal Gabriel (S-Express, Bomb The Bass, Kylie, New Order); Kid Gloves (aka Freeform Five & Freelance Hellraiser), Jim Elliot, Paul Harris (aka Dirty Vegas); uber-hip American producer Greg Kurstin (Beck, Flaming Lips, Lily Allen, Red Hot Chilli Peppers); Michael di Francesco from Aussie band Van She and Gabriel Olegavich (aka Medasyn).

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful debut album , 6 Oct 2008
I love this album I brought it after hearing two of the singles and there isn't a duff track on the album. Everytime I play a track it brings a smile to my face.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic... but too clever for the UK..?, 12 Nov 2008
By Lexx (Worcestershire, UK) - See all my reviews
This is a great album: An amalgam of Blondie, Kim Wilde, Cyndi Lauper, American 80's AOR and Numanesque electro-bleep. What's cool is that Ladyhawke pulls off the feat of sounding better and fresher than the originals. It's the soundtrack to an imaginary 80's movie, where everyone would have teased-up hair, wear spandex and bandannas, and not be fat. The songs are as catchy as hell, and alongside Santogold and Miss Kittin, who also contributed great LP's this year, this is a credible addition to the pantheon of quirky, intelligent pop.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect pop songs, 22 Oct 2009
By J. A. Marczak (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This record is one of my favourites from the last year. It's full of retro sounds with modern production but more importantly it's full of superbly catchy songs that I have listened to over and over again and not got sick of! The fact that 5 singles were relases from the album says alot about it, there are no real weak points, and any of the remaining 8 tracks could also have translated onto radio quite easily.

What you get with Ladyhawke is not that musically ambitious, she sticks to what she can do so well which is to make tunes that stick in your head immediately. I've only given it 4 stars because it's literally a collection of pop songs and, though those pop songs are near perfect, there's not alot more to it than that.

So far Ladyhawke has mercifully not been overplayed on the radio so I'm still loving this album.
